Abigail Ahern takes the helm as designer in residence at the luxury five-star apartment hotel, Cheval Three Quays, London.
Kicking off what is destined to be an exciting year for the Designers at Debenhams, Abigail follows in the footsteps of celebrated designers Matthew Williamson, John Rocha and Ben de Lisi. This is the final instalment of the exclusive year-long partnership that saw each designer apply their individual creative talent to dress and create a unique ‘Designer at Debenhams’ Apartment.
Drawing on her inspiration from around the world, Abigail has transformed a one bedroom apartment into an eclectic retreat in the heart of London with her globally influenced SS17 collection for Debenhams.
The collection is underpinned by spirited animal motifs and tribal patterns set against a backdrop of bold, colourful textures and natural ceramics. Raw and rustic textiles featuring interesting applique details soften the overall look, whilst burnished metallic accessories bring a hint of luxe. Organic sculptural accessories and statement lighting take centre stage, with oversized botanicals conjuring up the ultimate exotic urban jungle in the middle of the capital.
Abigail’s apartment boasts dramatic floor to ceiling windows with stunning views across the River Thames, Tower Bridge and The Shard. Every detail of the room has been carefully curated by Abigail to seamlessly fuse city living with her personal style.
On her collaboration with Cheval Three Quays, Abigail says: “It’s been an honour to be involved in the ‘Designer at Debenhams’ apartment takeover alongside such talented designers as Matthew Williamson, Ben de Lisi and John Rocha. It’s a fantastic location and a really exciting way to be able to showcase the SS17 collection – I hope it inspires people to bring a little more colour, texture, and tongue-in-chic style into their own homes!” Abigail Ahern, designer at Debenhams
Dean Madge, General Manager at Cheval Three Quays, comments: “It has been an absolute pleasure to partner with the designers from Debenhams, each and every designer has brought some new, innovative and creative design to Three Quays which has surprised and delighted our guests. More than ever guests want to replicate luxury and design in their own homes and this has brought accessibility from iconic designers. As end with our fourth designer, Abigail Ahern, we could not be more happier to once again enjoy a transformation of our award winning apartments.”
